About Bonded
In one sentence
Bonded is a conversation game for couples, dates, friends and family that gives two to six people shared prompts to answer out loud.
In one paragraph
Bonded gives couples, dates, friends and family a simple way to start conversations together. A host chooses a deck and invites others with a link, QR code or six-character code; everyone sees the same prompt and can answer or pass. Guests join free from a browser. Bonded is free to download, with optional Premium at €9.99/month or €59.99/year.
The fuller story
Bonded Studio creates games, apps, objects, media and participatory installations that give people a reason to turn toward one another. The app brings that purpose into an everyday ritual: a shared prompt, the choice to answer or pass, and time to listen to the people playing.
Bonded is designed around a shared opening: everyone sees the same prompt at the same time, so one person does not have to carry the conversation. Players choose the relationship, mood and depth, then answer out loud or pass without giving a reason. The phone supplies the prompt; the conversation happens between the people playing.
The app offers 12 decks and supports sessions for two people or groups of up to six. One person hosts and shares an invitation. Guests can join free from a browser, so everyone does not need to install the app. Premium includes group hosting, access to all decks, saved Memory Capsules and Connection Insights.
Private Pulse gives two players a private signal they can reveal only by mutual choice. In a group, Room Pulse shows an anonymous spread only when at least three players choose to share. Memory Capsules preserve shared moments flagged during play; Bonded does not record the spoken conversation.
